He did it again! Patrick Mahomes officially wins AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season
Kansas City, MO — It wasn’t a fluke: Patrick Mahomes has once again earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, marking the second time this season he’s received the award.
🔥 Stellar Performance vs. the Lions
In Sunday night’s matchup against Detroit, Mahomes delivered a near-flawless outing: he completed 22-of-30 passes for 257 yards, threw 3 touchdown passes with no interceptions, and added 32 rushing yards + 1 rushing touchdown.
Thanks to that performance, the Chiefs secured a 30–17 win, improved to 3–3, and tightened their grip on momentum heading into the latter half of the season.
📊 A Return to Form — and a Milestone
- This award marks Mahomes’ 12th career AFC Offensive Player of the Week distinction.
- It’s the second time this season he’s collected the honor, having previously won it in Week 4 after his performance against Baltimore.
- Notably, it’s the first time since 2022 that he’s been named Player of the Week multiple times in a single season.
- With this second win of the season, Mahomes moves past Russell Wilson among active QBs for the number of Player of the Week honors, although legends like Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson still top the list.
🧭 What It Means for the Chiefs
After a somewhat shaky start to the season, Mahomes’ recent performances suggest he’s settling into form again. His consistency and ability to make big plays — both through the air and on the ground — are fueling Kansas City’s resurgence
Now, as the Chiefs prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, all eyes will be on whether Mahomes can ride this momentum and yet again stand out among the league’s best.
